Mom, daughters arrested in fight with LAUSD teacher

A woman and her two daughters could face assault and battery charges for allegedly fighting with a teacher at John Muir Middle School, officials said today.

The altercation was reported about 9 a.m. Wednesday on the campus at 5929 S. Vermont Ave., officials said.

Kiki Fowler, 33, and one of her daughters were arrested on suspicion of felony battery on school grounds with injury, district spokeswoman Monica Carazo said. Her other daughter was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

One of the girls attends Muir, Carazo said. The girls' names were withheld because they are juveniles.

Fowler was being held on $20,000 bail, according to the sheriff's department.

The three went to the school about 9 a.m. Wednesday, checked in at the office, then went to the classroom of the special-education teacher, who was attacked in the hallway Carazo said.

The motive for the fight was not disclosed.

It was unclear what kind of injuries the unidentified teacher may have suffered, but Carazo said she sought treatment Wednesday and did not come to work today.
